On the second of this month, Smokey Stover purchased Exactly from Fractious for $500.000. The Honeybee would be her first race for her new trainer, and she would make a positive impression right away, scoring a strong two length win to earn 50 points for the KYO! It was part of a great day at OP for Smokey Stover fillies as he would win both the Honeybee and the Rebel with one of them.
Grade III
Zombie Storm Thunders Home in Royal Delta
We had the winner and the exacta for the Royal Delta, but Zombie Storm did not exactly win this race in the way that was expected. She had scored two impressive, wire to wire victories in a pair of Grade 3’s leading up to the HOU Ladies Classic.
The Fillies Are Back on the KYO Trail! The Honeybee Nearly Fills
Last week, only six horses ran in the first 50-point KYO race of the season, the Alexandra at FG. There would be five horses that ran against the boys in The Risen Star, at the same race track on the same day. So this made it very interesting to see what would happen “the week after”.
Plenty of Early Speed in Royal Delta
Eight horses are lined up and ready to go in the seventh running of the Grade 3 Royal Delta, a race that is run a little more than a mile at GP. It first appeared on the schedule as a Grade 2, and with a $200.000 purse, but was downgraded to a Grade 3 in 2018.
